Eircom League: Rovers set up top of the table clash

Shamrock Rovers 4 Monaghan United 0

Shamrock Rovers blew Monaghan away from set-pieces to set up a top of the

table clash with league leaders Bohemians on Friday night.

Sean Francis set them on their way after just five minutes when Tommy

Dunne's free-kick was helped to him by Marc Kenny.

Terry Palmer then tapped home a Kenny free-kick for the second goal on 17

minutes.

More bad defending from a Kenny corner gifted Tony Grant the third seven

minutes before the break.

Billy Woods then scored the pick of the four on 52 minutes; volleying home

after Kenny's corner was cleared straight to him on the edge of the area.
